Obviously they take safe investment guidelines. The 10 is a very good yield relative to their yield. No further comment. Thank you. Vice president adam. Im in favour but i agree with president brandon. Shes been asking about this for month and sometimes i think when the commissioners talk, it falls on deaf ears. The staff may think they know more than the commissioners. Thats fine, but i think when asking is asked, you know, shes been asking for this for months, and no excuse not to be in the report and you cant duck it. If theres an issue, it needs to be dealt it and thats how i feel. Jack came up, but it should be in the report and should be talked about. So i think when we say something, it should be heeded and as president brandon said, people from the community hadnt come out today, a lot of this stuff we wouldnt have known and we have to talk about these things. I think to me, transparency is important and when we say something, it should be there. Im not blaming you, but somebody should have had that in the report and you should have been able to call that immediately to give those anticipation. Answers. This is too big, something take 12, 13 years, we need have it right. So ill sport. Support it. We need facts to make the right decisions. Thank you. Rebecca, thank you for this report and jack and team, thank you so much for all of the work that you have put into this project because this will be an amazing project. I think our concern is to make sure there are opportunities for everywhere to be involved in this project. Anything that happens along that waterfront will affect that community. It will affect everybody. So ive been asking over and over, can you please include the southern Waterfront Advisory Committee on everything going on on that corridor. So hopefully they get the same opportunities that everybody else is getting and know of opportunities coming up, that they may be interested in. So hopefully, Going Forward, we will talk to all of our advisory groups prior to anything coming to the commission. And i can explain what our thinking was. It wail not satisfy you at all. Foul. [ laughter ] we come to the Port Commission first and we came to you on september 10th and i put them on every single calendar and their meeting is tomorrow and they didnt have enough meeting before today so we could delayed the Port Commission. Everyone has the same opportunity. I agree. We didnt have a meeting, a swack meeting since the last meet. But what we are instituting is Community Reports on the mission rock project to the swack and the seawag. So well institute that starting now. It will allow the swack to get caught up on the projects because theyre not well informed and moving forward, well do quarterly updates on them. I dont think it should take me to say that all of these advisory groups should get a briefing. I think theyve had a meeting and there was arriv ample oppor. Again, i shouldnt have to ask where we are with the workforce and who are we giving this information to. Thats not my job. There is so much happening along the third street corridor which is why i thought the Mayors Office put together an effort to make this all work together. Because every project will impact all of the communities. And so whether its pier 70, whether its mission rock or transportation, waste whatever , Everyone Needs the same information. Thank you, i really appreciate this. All in favour . The resolution 1939 and 1940 has been approved. Information under the Fundraising Campaign and partnership of San Francisco parks alignment. Good afternoon, president and commissioners. Im the manager on the real estate and development division. This informational item before you is the proposed park Fundraising Campaign. As you all know, crane cove park has been an active project of the port since 2005 and david boprey who lead the planning the park and erica crane are both here to answer Historical Context questions. Drew betchr of the San FranciscoParks Alliance is here today and will be speaking later on in our presentation. Just as an overview of what youll be covering, we will go over the project background and status, the Strategic Plan alignment, parks aligned history and experience, our next steps. Shoreline ro reconstruction, bot irrigation. And it is anticipated that the 19th street, georgia street and building 49 are delivered by the calendar year 2020. The date has spent 16 millions of the 36 million budget. With that said, there were components of the project of the original scope that were moved due to cost considerations. And moved out to later phases. These included a tot lot and riggers yard. This is a critical investment and important to develop in the plan through the priorities. Opening crane cove park by 2020, raising public funds for the childrens playground in 2020 and growing Capital Funding with external forces. The components were still deemed to be vital components and this is how a partnership could be structured and to fundraise for the park. This dialogue is built upon a longstanding relationship with the Parks Alliance and highlighted in the coming sites. This raised over 65 million for ports open space. The alliance has been looked to by the city as a fundraising partner for countless spaces throughout the city. Their continuous collaboration for the recreation and Parks Department is a testament to the success for park and communities p whilwhile they are the most successful in parks, their success is matched to creating vibrant open space for everyone to enjoy and this makes them a natural fit for our partnership and to lead the Fundraising Campaign. At this time, i would like to invite the ceo of the parks to speak. Im drew betcher and thank you for the opportunity and i want to give a shoutout to my leadership team. This is important to the citizens and county of San Francisco. I just wanted to point out the history and experience of the Parks Alliance. We have been around since 1971, building and helping to build this citys rec and Park Department. I would say the rec and Park Department in San Francisco is now one of the top recreation and Parks Department. It got there with advocacy and partnerships. Thats what we are built on with 12 now Community Leaders that we organize every year and 200 community groups, that were fiscally sponsored organization and most are in our parks but were expanding. We are the first city to reach a tenminute walk to parks and open space and crane cove will help the dog patch area in the southeast waterfront be more successful. We started off with fundraising in the mid90s with the conservatory of flowers. Mamany of you may remember, it s blown down in a storm and we raised 26 million to reopen that with an endowment and we still operate that if partnership with the rec and Park Department. We just completed a 30 Million Campaign to redo the Golden Gate Park tennis centre, as well, which has a big component for the Tennis Learning Center which is invested in tennis courts, in equity zones around the city and were nearing the end of our investment, of our initiative, which is 13 playgrounds around the city that are in neighborhoods with the most need and in the middle of raising 1 14. 5 million for that campaign. Its a 36 Million Programme matched up with bond funds from the bond the city has. We have seven projects under construction and theyre due to be opened up in winter, all opened up by 2021. Another big investment made by the city and specifically the Mayors Office over the past couple of years in the parks alignsalliance. We had parks groups wanting to be fiscally managed and do Fundraising Efforts for them and we did not have the capacity. We had 60 to 80 groups waiting and we decided we went to the city and they decided to invest in the Parks Alliance to expand our capacity and were happy to say we have all new systems. We have new staff and we have a new way of almost a trademark system of work an and bringing communities together around projects such as this. An activation is big. Youve heard this from many and this is the old addage, you build it and come, that is something were work on. I also want to say, we worked with the economic and workforce development, puc, among others and weve worked with the port closely but not this closely over the past couple of years that weve been involved and were looking forward to this partnership. As you noted in 2004, we started the conversation about the big blue greenway idea and now its the rubber hits the road. Crinco is one of the biggest publically funded pieces of that plan and we want it to be hugely successful for you and we are really happy to be a part of it and we look forward to work wig you to make it really the shining star in the green necklace that will be southeast waterfront we can be proud of. Were raising money at the same time, which we think is a compliment for india basin and india basin is a pup wit. Its always bad to hav good to s and we have two great options, having both in our portfolio when we shop donors to invest in great neighborhoods. The Parks Alliance is here and we love working with the port. Your staff is absolutely amazing and we look forward to having this become the Public Private partnership that we can all be proud of on the southeast waterfront. The alliance will aim to raise 6. 3 million for contribution to the park to deliver the yard, the tot lot and two crane tops. And the Partnership Structure will be similar to what the Park Alliance does with the recreation and Parks Department throughout the city, staff envisions executing an mo ultimate tu. There will be commun protocols, port oversight, Commission Engagement and how it will be accepted by the park. The fiveyear time line will hit the target, there will be to allow for any changes that may lengthen or effort. And in conclusion, next steps are as follows in the fall. We will continue at your direction to retype Partnership Structure. The commission will be presented, a proposed mou to be executed with the Parks Alliance and winter of 2020, in the new year, the Fundraising Campaign strategy will be further refined and we will launch a Small Campaign and in the sprai spring, the park willn with a launch of the campaigning to confetti, lots of kayaking people in the new beach. Im here to answer any questions and drew betcher and drew and erica are here as well. Any Public Comment . Director forbes, im with pier 70 and we were the First Development entity and put a trailer on site and started in the noonan building and moved to our project. The idea is for the park at the time, they were developed, designed and its really, really exciting to see theres a potential for the port to join a Development Partner or fundraising partner to raise the money to get the job complete. I know hearing from the committee and from our tenants and everyone else for crane cove park to come online and we want to share that. Thank you. Any other Public Comment regarding this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner g gillman. Thank you for the presentation and im familiar with the work and im excited were partnering with them to get the project over the hump and deliver as promised to this neighborhood. So thank you for the presentation. Commissioner . Thank you for the presentation, to questions. Commissioner . Thank you for the presentation, as well. I was involved with the park ace linesaligns alliance in 201 2012 and so imy supportive because i think crane cove park is a long, overdue development and we know that its been long and coming but were all excited to see it happen and i think this is an important step Going Forward. Thank you. Vice president , adam . I like the presentation and i would like to say for the Park Alliance, i appreciated the comments you had to say about the new system and you got it up and running. You got things going, looked at it with the city and stuff and this has been long going. I know David Frasier worked on this for years and a lot of people when it first started have passed on. David knows the initial committee, my union that wanted to see this happen and theyre all passed on now. This has been going on for years. So i hope i get to see this come to fruition. It would be a tribute to their honor. Thank you. Thank you so much for the presentation. David, thank you for all of your work, bringing the park to where we are today and you think its really exciting that the Parks Alliance is joining us on this fundraising effort and muchneeded structures that we need out there. Just one question. So youre going to do the finalizing piece and annually, you turn the funds over to the port and the port does the work or how does that work. So it can happen in a multiple delivery strategy. The recreation and parks delivered the work and gusted the improvemengiftedthe improve. And then staff delivers through maintenance or through consultants the actual work. So i think that depends how the contribution is made and each will come to the port as an accept and of cours expend acti. So the Parks Alliance will do the fundraiser and we will do the actual improvements . Theres an opportunity for multiple paths to be taken. There have been discussions right now with the existing contractor because there might be there may be shared expenses that could be more advantageous than using the existing contractor to deliver the work, but that is contingent on us having the fundraising dollars come in and so, i know that the Parks Alliances having several conversations with donors right now and we anticipate starting donor tours in the near future. So i think that if we were gifted playground equipment, we could institute a contract for that work, as well. Now. Ok. Im sure ill understand it better when you bring the [ laughter ] the mou for approval. Thank you very much. This was great and really exciting and we want to thank the Parks Alliance for partnering on this effort. So thank you. Thank you. Could i help to try to provide clarity, maybe . I think what were asking for is the neglect o flexibility of ths alliance and if its something our crews could do, we can do that or by us putting it out to bid and take th taking the funde raised. So well look to allow any three delivery methods, whatever makes the most sense from an efficiency standpoint. Ok, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you. Item 8a, requests for approval to execute an amendment for professional Services Contract with ch2m hill, Engineers Incorporated for planning, engineering and services for the waterfront which includes the army corps of engineering and related activities to increase the contract by 19,000,392,000,000 resulting in a contract. Im brad benson representing the waterfronts of resilience teem to talk about a proposed amendment that we describe to you on an informational basis in august for a contract with cm2m hill. So i will give a shorter update than we did last time about the waterfront resilience programme, also give a few short updates about the Army Corps Flood resiliency study. Ill go over the major items in the contract scope of work and theres one minor change to the report i would like to flag and well end with a funding update with a focus on a planned trip to washington, d. C. With our commissioned officers to advocate for the programme. So as we mentioned last time, we are out in public, in a series of public workshops along the waterfront describing the work going on. We were in the Bayview Community this last week, had excellent attendance. The team did a good job of turning folks out. Were trying to understand what people love about the waterfronts, what they think is important to the city, their concerns about flood risk and seismic risk. As part of that outreach effort, were getting feedback on draft visual ship statement principles, goal and objectives. The draft vision is to create a safe, equitable and sustainable waterfront. The programme involves different activities, some of which are portwide and po some limited to specific geographies. The flood study covers the entire port jurisdiction. The adapt and envision process where well envision a new waterfront to 21 levels is portwide. We have efforts like the embarcadaro seawall and Rehabilitation Programme that are limited to the northern waterfront and in southern waterfront, were commencing through the front, similar to the northern waterf
